High Press In Attacking Third | Opposed (25-P1)

Set Up

This is a quick fire starter possession practice in a 25 x 15 split into 2 halves, with size of practice adjusted to suit age and numbers. Here we work both the possession and pressing aspects of the game and engage players at the beginning of a session with high tempo challenge.

2 DFs must regain possession in the opposite end and transfer the ball to their teammates for the opposition to then send 2 players to do the same.

Possession team must now maintain 3 players in each quarter to work defenders.

Consider: Can you use the 3 v 1 effectively and then switch?

Progression 3 | Rotation On 3

Possession team must now switch players every 3 passers, different each time.

Consider: Which players should switch each time and why?
